with Biggie on the Brooklyn side, where the man can

make anything nappen.

HE BOX

"Bangin' The Box

There s no better Dace to catch the ratest new rad

videos than The Box--a network that leaves MTV in the

dust when it comes to staving on the cutting-edge. Editor

in Chief lon Shecter takes a trio to The Box headquarters

in Miami to learn the benino-the-scenes stor on the sta-

ton that keeos the lede in hear rotation.

and

decipher the minds of lunatics. Plus, The Ghostwriter

ABOVE THE LAW

"KKKalifornia Dreamin'

Forget what you heard: Above The Law were the original

G-Funkateers. Or were they? Cheo H. Coker takes a ridt

through Los Angeles with Cold 187, Total Kaos and KMG

as they talk about all of the multi-platinum artists who

were, uh, "influenced" by them. The bottom line is that

you can't front on their will to survive despite getting

shuffled around the record biz.
